T.J. plays with a ball.
1 Buhkra, the Siberian tiger, was going to have a baby. The
keepers at the Denver Zoo had already placed a video camera
in her den, so they could check on the mother tiger without
disturbing her. When the cub was born, they watched Buhkra
and her baby on a TV screen. Buhkra was a good mother. She
licked, nuzzled, and nursed her new baby. The cub, named T.J.,
weighed only three pounds and looked tiny next to his mother,
who weighed 250 pounds. T.J.’s father, Matthew, was even
bigger than Buhkra. He weighed 350 pounds. T.J. would have to
gain a lot of weight to be as big as his father.
nuzzled If one animal nuzzled another animal, it gently touched the
animal with its nose and mouth.
